“APPLIED MOTOR CONTROL AND LEARNING”

MOTOR CONTROL

 A top-down process of the nervous system that occurs before the actual movement is performed
(planning -> programming-> execution)

Movement emerges from the interaction of the three factors:

1. Individual
2. Task
3. Environment I

M
T E

Environment

 Regulatory – essential elements that determine, ex. Chair height

 Non-regulatory – features that are not essential but may affect the performance, ex. Background
noise
True if the statement given is correct and False if not.
_________ 1. Motor control is the process of initialing directing and grading purposeful voluntary
movement.
_________ 2. Movement emerges from the interaction of the three different factors: individual, task, and
action.
_________ 3. The process of controlling movement begins before the plan is executed and ends after the
muscle has contracted.

What is a THEORY of MOTOR CONTROL?

A group of abstract ideas about the control of movement.

TASK
1. How does the movement emerge in the individual factor? Explain your answer.
2. Among the different theories, that do you think dominates in the concept of motor control? Why?
3. Define Motor Learning.
4. Identify and describe the Theories of Motor Learning.
 “ETHICS”
1. Crime of passion (killing someone who hurt your lover)
2. Rape/Sexual Harassment
3. Not following the correct procedure on Surgical Operation

1. Number of doers of crime

2. Number of victims
3. Long-term impact
4. Intent (driven by ego, pride, hatred, lust) pure evil

Good/ Good things-pursue

ETHICS-MORAL

Evil/vices Bad things - avoid

ETHICS: Speculative science or practical science?

 Speculative science -truth to be known

 Practical science – truth to be applied

SCIENCE – body of knowledge Collection Theories/ideas/principle

1st law of motion (Isaac newton) explain

Morally wrong
Deontology Ang mali ay mali
Ang tama ay tama phenomenon event
Death penalty apply

Utilitarianism – morally correct real situation
